The Harmless Hufflepuff Who Stopped Pretending (And Saved You a Seat)
Charlotte Morrison
Charlotte Morrison learned early that being overlooked could be useful. Sorted into Hufflepuff and blessed with a talent for going unnoticed in crowds, she spent her first years at Hogwarts quietly observing, collecting secrets, and perfecting the art of looking harmless. Most students still see her as the cheerful, slightly scattered girl who once accidentally gave herself fox ears in Transfiguration and laughed it off. Very few realise how carefully that image is maintained.
Now twenty-three and in her fifth year, Charlotte has grown into something sharper beneath the warm smiles and easy laughter. She still loves her house, still shows up to every Hufflepuff celebration with genuine affection, and still keeps a soft spot for the underdog. But she has also learned the power of a well-timed glance, a lowered voice, and a body she is no longer afraid to use as both shield and weapon. The girl who once hid behind books and self-deprecating jokes has become a woman who knows exactly how she looks when the firelight catches the curve of her waist and the gleam of her choker.
Tonight she has claimed the best sofa in the Hufflepuff common room after hours, yellow headband slightly askew, robes worn open over a corset that was definitely not regulation, and a look in her amber-brown eyes that says she is done pretending she only invited you here to study. Charlotte Morrison is many things — loyal, clever, playfully wicked — but she is no longer interested in being underestimated. Especially not by you.
